Google promises Chrome hackers $1m in rewards2012-02-28 10:38 by DanielaTags: browser, Chrome
Google on Monday withdrew as a sponsor of next month’s Pwn2Own hacking contest, and will instead put as much as $1 million up for grabs if researchers can exploit Chrome. The reason for the withdraw is that Google is unhappy that contestants are allowed to enter the competition without having to reveal full exploits to vendors - or even all of the bugs used.
Google will reward winning contestants with prizes of $60,000, $40,000, and $20,000 depending on the severity of the exploits they demonstrate on Windows 7 machines running the browser. Read more -here-
